Truck's New Tricks

And now we are sitting!

Well, sortof.

Truck on the Move

This weekend, the Truck started doing two new things. First, rolling over front to back (he had been doing back to front for awhile). This means he can now roll himself places. Second, CRAWLING!!!!! He doesn't quite get the "head up" deal yet, but he burrows his head into the carpet, sticks his bottom in the air, yells, and then scooches forward. He cannot be contained. You put the boy in one place now, and when you come back, he's across the room.

He also, unfortunately, has his first sniffle, which isn't causing him too much trouble except (of course) at night. Last night, he didn't go to sleep until 1 AM. And he woke up for some snuggles at 3:30 AM. Ugh, great way to kick off the week. He went down around 10 PM tonight. Fingers are crossed that he stays that way til morning. It doesn't help that we are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch and I see loads of lightning on the horizon. I love a rainy night for sleeping...but it better not wake up that baby!

Five Months Later

Truck is 5 months old today!

He loves playing upright these days, in his walker and new (to us) Exersaucer. He also loves shoving anything into his mouth, especially his stuffed bear, Phoenix. He smiles at everyone. He has moved his way through rice cereal and oatmeal in the last 2 months, and through the whole repertoire of baby food veggies (squash, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans), and next week, we start on fruit.

His very favorite, without a doubt, #1 thing to do is eat his toes! He loves lying on the ground, chewing on his toes. He does not take a Binky or suck his thumb. He is our perfect little Truck-O.
